When we purchase or install a new pad mounted transformer, factory acceptance test is a crucial step. Pad mounted transformer acceptance testing is a comprehensive process used to ensure the quality and safety of this electrical equipment, as well as compliance with national and industry standards. When conducting the test, we need to pay attention to many aspects, including its design, manufacturing, functional performance, electrical performance, protection performance, and operation status, etc. This post will provide a detailed introduction to the main content of factory test for pad mounted transformer and the key points we should pay attention to.
The first thing to focus on is the design and manufacturing of the pad mounted transformer. Pad mounted transformer is an important power device used to convert high voltage into low voltage for user use in some manufacturing factories, dwelling buildings, a school campus or a hospitals etc. Therefore, the quality of its design and manufacturing directly affects the performance and lifespan of the substation. During the acceptance process, we need to check whether the design drawings and manufacturing process comply with relevant standards and specifications. We should also pay attention to the materials and components of the pad mounted transformer to ensure its quality and reliability.
Secondly, functional performance is another important aspect of pad mounted transformer . The functional performance includes the rated capacity, output voltage, insulation level, protection level, etc. of the box transformer. We need to carefully check whether the technical parameters of the box transformer meet the requirements and verify them with the technical documents provided by the supplier. In addition, we also need to test the load capacity and short-circuit capacity of the pad mounted transformer to ensure its normal operation under normal and abnormal conditions.
Electrical performance is one of the key aspects that need to be focused on during the acceptance process of pad mounted transformers. The electrical performance includes the rated current, rated frequency, phase sequence, operating temperature, etc. of the pad mounted transformer. We need to check whether the electrical connections of the box transformer are correct and whether all electrical components are working properly. At the same time, we also need to conduct electrical parameter testing, such as resistance, insulation resistance, winding resistance, and insulation resistance, to ensure that the pad mounted transformer has good electrical performance.
Protection performance is also an important aspect of pad mounted transformer acceptance. The protection performance includes overvoltage protection, undervoltage protection, overload protection, short circuit protection, etc. of the pad mounted transformer. We need to check if the protective components and devices of the pad mounted transformer are complete, and conduct protection parameter testing. In addition, we also need to check whether the ground protection and related grounding devices of the pad mounted transformer meet the requirements to ensure the safety performance of the pad mounted transformer.
Finally, we also need to pay attention to the operation of the pad mounted transformer. During the acceptance process, we need to conduct load and operational tests on the pad mounted transformer to ensure its normal operation and meet the requirements of the power grid. We also need to check the temperature rise, noise, and vibration of the pad mounted transformer to evaluate its operational status and reliability.
In summary, pad mounted transformer acceptance test is a very important work that requires us to conduct comprehensive inspection and testing of the equipment to ensure its quality and safety. During the acceptance process, we should pay attention to the design and manufacturing, functional performance, electrical performance, protection performance, and operation of the pad mounted transformer. Only through a scientific and rigorous acceptance process can we obtain high-quality and reliable pad mounted transformers.
